Welcome back, Michael!

 What a relief to find your comment just now, Michael!  I was on the point of sending you a card via snail mail, but now I don't have to.  You can't imagine how frustrating it is to have lost contact with everybody!  It seems Philip is still working on my old computer but he doesn't tell me when I'm likely to get it back.


Since I don't understand if I can save photos anywhere on this new machine, I haven't taken any, and am trying to put one here from the Internet, but so far it seems to have floated off into cyberspace as it certainly hasn't appeared here.  Bear with me and I'll have another go.

Golly, it worked this time!  That's great.  This photo of The Rocks represents what I plan to do over the next few months:  explore in minute detail all the suburbs of Sydney.  Most of my friends are shooting off all over the globe - at great expense and discomfort, if you ask me - while I'm going to do mini-journeys.  (Somebody else had the same idea and the photographic result is currently showing at the Museum of Sydney.)


I really am in love with Sydney and can't believe my good fortune in actually living here again.  It is a joy to just pick a spot and wander round.  (Have a look for yourself:

Nor can I believe how many trees we have!  It's like living in a forest.  (Again, have a look for yourself:  http://www.google.com.au/search?q=trees+in+sydney+streets&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1026&bih=469)

It's almost 1pm and I'd better get dressed, ready for my exercise class, HeartMoves.
